What's with the Barefoot ruins?
« on: August 22, 2003, 12:01:14 PM »
The new Golf World has a picture of Davis Love's course at Barefoot Landing and these silly ruins right in front of a green and also hiding a big cart path. Were these real or fake? What was Love thinking?

Kevin - Here's a link to a previous discussion about the ruins at the Love Course at Barefoot Landing. It may shed some light on their design thoughts. http://www.golfclubatlas.com/forums2/index.php?board=1;action=display;threadid=2841;start=msg55234#msg55234

.....michael, thank you for your interest in the 'ruins'...i had not seen the previous posts from last fall , as i was not yet computer literate ,[i have barely achieved computer primative as we speak].......anyway, if you enjoyed the 'ruins' , i am sure you would find our new course ,the 'patriot' at lake greenwood ,[in your backyard] even more so.......it will open late this fall ,but if you would like a preview ,i am still there almost each week......912 222 1616...come on by.

Paul - I will definitely take you up on your invitation! I have driven by the property twice, but didn't have time to stop and check it out. I'll call you next week and we'll set a date. Thanks!!!

Paul,

I will likely take you up on your offer as well, if it is OK.  John had mentioned that it would be possible when I was talking with him many months back.

What is the official date for opening at this time?

Mucci..........................i'll chill the beer.....do you guys like to shoot off muskets around a camp fire ?......

Wow! Guns & beer!! A southern boy's dream date!!!

Don't be so sure it's not all a hoax... wait and see who (or what) shows up on Tuesday. How do we get to Grand Harbor?  Oh, yeah, I remember... follow the yellow brick road.
